Context
The UN Volunteer will be part of the UNICEF Suriname Office, which is transitioning into a Multi-Country Office (MCO) structure covering Suriname and other Caribbean countries, including Guyana. This transition reflects UNICEF’s evolving approach to delivering integrated and efficient program support across the region.
The office is undergoing significant organizational and staffing changes, including reduced program support staffing capacity. Within this changing context, the UN Volunteer will provide flexible program and coordination support across sectors, contributing to program implementation, partnership coordination, knowledge management, monitoring, and operational support. The role is expected to strengthen program continuity during the transition period and support UNICEF’s efforts to deliver equitable results for children and adolescents across the Multi-Country Office.
The UN Volunteer will work closely with program staff, government counterparts, UN agencies, civil society organizations, and development partners supporting child rights, social development, health, protection, resilience, and inclusion initiatives.
